About Fava Beans

This is the sowing period, from January to March, to then harvest them in May and June. Without being parochial, fava beans are cultivated in Southern Italy, Sicily, Sardinia, Campania, Apulia, and surprisingly, Lazio is also one of the regions that cultivate them. However, the leading producers are China, as the origins of this legume are indeed Asian.

in cucina con pina

My name is Pina, and my passion is food and cooking in general. On the blog, I focus on regional dishes like those from my birthplace, Sicily. I also feature dishes from Lazio, the region that has hosted me for over 40 years, but in general, I cover all Italian regions. Traveling and exploring is my second passion, so I couldn't leave out dishes from around the "World" on my blog. My blog is divided into simple and essential sections like appetizers, first courses, main courses, side dishes, bread and leavened products, jams and preserves, wines and wineries, and of course, travels. Desserts are included, and finally, there is a dedicated corner for gluten-free options. Easy recipes, explained step by step and always updated.
